It’s very different handing my ID to a store clerk, who barely looks at it because my birth year starts with 19, from uploading a photo of that ID to a sketchy service who now has a permanent documentation of precisely who I am and what sort of freaky shit I’m into.
Sure, the tracking services already know this, but they don’t also have a photo of my ID that I willingly gave to them to prove it’s me.

Are you embarrassed you look at porn? There’s plenty of ways to manage without an internet connection. Go grab a compilation torrent.
Even if all these sites went verification tonight, you’d still be able to privately jerk off to whatever it is you want to hide so bad.

Torrents are even worse without I VPN. Ever heard of iknowwhatyoudownload.com ?

I’m not opposed to vpns. I simply don’t want porn accessible to children easily. Simple barriers to entry like an ID or credit card have worked before and surely will again once porn streaming sites give up fighting this regulation and start working to follow it.

It’s too easy to go around. Make a Reddit account: NSFW access.
Search torrents, NSFW access.
Join a telegram channel, NSFW access.
Hell, just search google images and it’ll work to an extend.
With this many websites, you just can’t stop it. They can’t even stop the piracy websites so…

Given that I torrent without a VPN and it had nothing on there, and it also got my location wrong by over 500km, I dont think I’m too worried.

If you’re on private trackers there won’t be anything
